Seattle debuts 'protected intersection' to boost pedestrian, cyclist safety
SEATTLE — The intersection at Dexter Avenue North and Thomas Street in South Lake Union is now a first of its kind.
"I think the biggest thing is the actual light. There was no light here before," said Harper Ellison as she looked at the new traffic light and painted crosswalks.
In November, the city started construction on this "protected intersection." In January 2023, Jaahnavi Kandula was in this intersection when a Seattle police unit responding to a call hit and killed her.
